How to Install a Flush-Mount Ceiling Light: Quick Sheet

Install a flush-mount ceiling light after removing an existing fixture or ceiling fan, including how to secure the mounting bracket, connect the wiring, adjust the threaded stem, and get the glass bowl sitting flush, level, and secure.

Important: Turn off power at the breaker and verify the circuit is de-energized before touching any wiring. Follow the fixture manufacturer’s instructions, and hire a licensed electrician whenever the wiring, ceiling box, grounding, or support conditions are unclear.
